I just got home. When I walked into my bedroom I noticed the boob light over my sitting area was hanging down from the ceiling by it's wires. It's obviously not supposed to be that way.

I'm not getting any electricity in there either. I checked the breaker box and the switch was tripped.

I really am not sure if I should leave the switch off or try to flip it back on and see what happens.

I suppose the light falling out of the ceiling caused it to trip.

Can someone tell me what to do until Dan gets home so he can deal with it?

Should I just leave the switch alone?

are the wires still connected? any bare wires?

yeah, they all look like they're connected. There's a bare copper wire but I'm assuming that one is supposed to be bare because the whole thing is exposed. There are no other bare wires, that I can see anyway.

If you need what else that breaker runs....can you just turn the power off to that light...then flip the breaker? If that light did not have power when it tripped, however, would leave it alone.

Why do you think it fell?

It knocked out the power to my whole master bedroom including my master closet & the sitting area. There's no power to any light or the ceiling fan or any of the outlets.

I suppose the light fell due to Fort Bragg shooting off their tunderboomers. It tends to knock the pictures off the walls sometimes.

That wire is always exposed. You can disregard it.

Did it bust the light bulb?

boob light? do they sell those at the porn store?

like this... http://www.rensup.com/Ceiling-Lights/99891.htm?adsrc=9000002

If the breaker is currently off, then turn the switch off for the exposed light, effectively killing any juice running to that light. You'll be fine to flip the breaker back after that.

Did that. :)

No.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
